My now annual tradition of presenting numerous New York City Christmas Trees to our audience at home and abroad has expanded from being shown only on the website to our other networks. A couple of years ago I began sharing to the Official Instagram and now we’re doing the same thing with our still brand-new Official YouTube Channel. Join Content Creator Ken Pierce (that’s me) as I hit the locations of numerous amazing holiday displays. All of the clips being shot with the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 along with some narration. Part One of Two is below.
This past Thursday, I embarked on what amounted to being the Phase 2 aspect of my now annual “Christmas Tree Visuals” adventures in my NYC Metropolis. Years ago all of the images would fall to several posts but over the last few I’ve stockpiled them all to socials first and then compile for a larger narrative for “The Chronicles”. This year, the Saks Fifth Avenue light show was called “This Is How We Celebrate” and I’m happy to share this visual with our world of readers to enjoy from the safety of their own homes. This is especially important with a deadly virus out there doing its thing. Please relax and enjoy this short clip.
Production Notes: The night was a comfortable one and not too cold and with the pandemic keeping tremendous crowds away it was a little easier to navigate the streets. As you can see I recorded this from an opposite corner and this would be the very first time using my Canon Powershot for such an event. My handy Samsung point and shoot had finally stopped functioning but it sure did serve me well for many a year of conventions and this kind of stuff. So not only was this the first time using that Canon device, but this will make for the second video for our still brand-spanking new YouTube Channel. For many years, “The Chronicles” found its video content posting to my personal channel but now we are using one of our own. We ask that you kindly subscribe and click the notification bell on the channel itself by clicking HERE. The more subs we can get the more options open up for the outlet and while I have you, don’t forget to visit our Official Instagram as well because a wealth of holiday photos and videos have been loaded up there for your viewing pleasure.
While its still a little early, we wish you all a very “Merry Christmas” and a good season overall. Stay healthy, keep to the rules of your region and wear a mask when required and practice the distancing if in a large group. I look forward to healthier times for us all.
Back in August, “The Chronicles” helped to share the news that the Netflix streaming service had picked up the first two seasons of the YouTube Original Series “Cobra Kai”. This is a series that picks up many years after the movies for “Karate Kid” had taken place and shows us all what became of the characters. Now under Netflix control, the series has a new life and the Official Trailer for the third season is presented for your review. I copied the casting from the first two seasons for good measure. Take a look.
The Press Release:
Today, ReedPop – the world’s leading producer of pop culture events – announced that they will be retiring BookExpo, BookCon, and UnBound, effective immediately.
Earlier this year, ReedPop was forced to make the decision to cancel the in-person BookExpo, BookCon, and UnBound 2020 events, pivoting to BookExpo Online and BookConline bringing the industry together virtually for a global celebration of books. With continued uncertainty surrounding in-person events at this time, the team has concluded that the best way forward is to retire the current iteration of events as they explore new ways to meet the community’s needs through a fusion of in-person and virtual events that will reach larger audiences than they ever could before. The ReedPop team is actively engaging in conversations with publishers, booksellers, and other partners, and with their feedback and ideas they will together agree how to best rebuild the events in the future.
The Premise:
As Emily Elizabeth (Darby Camp) struggles to fit in at home and at school, she discovers a small red puppy who is destined to become her best friend. When Clifford becomes a gigantic dog and attracts the attention of a genetics company, Emily and her Uncle Casey (Jack Whitehall) have to fight the forces of greed as they go on the run across New York City. Along the way, Clifford affects the lives of everyone around him and teaches Emily and her uncle the true meaning of acceptance and unconditional love.
